As Requested - Hair + Hat  



Finally done. Almighty Hat requested a medieval hat for her sim ladies a while back on GoS and I decided to take up the request. And now, finally, after some illness related delays, I'm finished!

This download consists of two seperate parts. Part One:



The hair. Available from child to elder (not toddlers, figured that'd look a bit odd). Available in pooklet's naturals and unnaturals (but not the just released newer colours, I finished these just before that got released). Naturals are binned same way pooklet does them (which means shrapnel is in the black bin and elders keep their hair colour). Polycount is: 5207

Download

And then, what the hair was made for:



One crispinette, as an accessory. I only did one texture as the mesh took a bit to get right and between that and the being sick part, I didn't feel like doing more. Everything is alpha-editable, the cauls and crown/hat part are cut-out alphas (no transparancy possible, sorry. But you can change the shape, or remove them) and the veil and wimple are blend alphas and can be made transparant, or solid, or removed entirely. It's fully animated (wimple will look a bit crunched in around the neck when the sim twists around a lot, nothing I can do about that, but it does not stab). The crispinette will probably look rather weird combined with any other hair than the one I made above (as it was made to fit that hair).

Available to teens, young adults, adults and elders. Polycount: 1844

Download

And for those creative types that want to make their own retextures of the crispinette: Uv Maps (note, these are PSD files)

Credits:
Pooklet, for the hair textures/colours
Kat's Hats (as my reference site)
Almighty Hat, for the request in the first place

Please enjoy! And as usual, keep off of paysites and TSR. Recolour (and anything else you want to do to it) to your heart's content.

This is amazing, such a great addition to anyone with a medieval style game. <3 And all of us who don't play that way.
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 01:21 pm (UTC)
Thank you! The hair is probably useable in any style game ;) (the accessory, maybe a bit less so).
Just call me Hat.[info]almightyhat on May 6th, 2010 01:25 pm (UTC)
So. Incredibly. Awesome.

I'm running out of ways to say thank you, I really am! I can't tell you how much I appreciate this-- this adds so much to Medieval games (or sci-fi games or... I don't know, asylum challenges, or games where some Sims are LARPers?)!

I am filled with glee!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 01:34 pm (UTC)
You're most welcome! It was fun to do :) I like a challenge. (I can't say I've ever seen a game where Sims were LARPers though ;) )

:D

This is just awesome!!!! I haven't been able to build my medieval neighbourhood yet (still having major problems with my graphics card so all my bigger projects are delayed) but I'm collecting downloads so that I will be ready when I get my computer in tip top shape. And this is super awesome!! I really love both the hair and the crispinette, don't know which one more. Thank you sooooooooo much for this! And the sim that is modelling the crispinette is very beautiful and I think very eloquent (not sure if that is the right word). I so love this, you rock!!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 02:06 pm (UTC)
Thanks! :D Sorry about the graphics card issues :( That always sucks. Hope you get it sorted soon :)

And thanks for the compliments on the sim, it's an old sim of mine with a makeover actually, usually she looks more like a robot XD

Thank youuuuu <3

Your hair meshes are always so defined FR, I love this one. I also nabbed the accessory, however I have no idea ~what~ I'll use it for ;)
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 04:32 pm (UTC)
Why thank you :D I'm sure you'll find a use, and if not, that's ok too ;)
Rina[info]arinasakizaki on May 6th, 2010 04:29 pm (UTC)

Thank you very much! :)
BC[info]brilliantcat on May 6th, 2010 07:05 pm (UTC)
I do so love Leia-bun type hair and I can say with certainty the hair will most definitely get a lot of use in my game :3 The crispinette is amazing and makes me want to make a medieval hood just to use it!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 07:15 pm (UTC)
Thanks :D Multi-functional hair ;) Good for medieval games, aliens *and* princess Leia XD

I've been wanting a medieval hood on occasion, every time I checked resources or references for this hat, for example XD
owls_are_not[info]owls_are_not on May 6th, 2010 07:19 pm (UTC)
Oh wow, this looks amazing! The hair is really cute and I LOVE the crispinette! :) Thank you so much for sharing!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 08:23 pm (UTC)
Thank you :) I'm glad people like the hair, I wasn't sure about it myself, to be honest.
Van, the Resident Hobbit[info]xel_squirgle_ox on May 6th, 2010 08:23 pm (UTC)
The hair! Omg it's so cute, I'll definitely be using it in the future. I think it would look adorable on a little girl. :D

I don't have any use for the hat but it's pretty cool too.
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 6th, 2010 08:24 pm (UTC)
Thankfully I made it for children as well then ;) And thank you! :D

Ammybear[info]amaryssobellus on May 7th, 2010 12:35 am (UTC)
Amazing! Love these so, so much!

OT:

Hope everything is good with you. I've been out of the loop lately and haven't caught up with things.
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 7th, 2010 01:14 am (UTC)
Thanks :D

I'm good. I was sick last week (REALLY bad cold, if it'd lasted any longer I'd have gone to a doctor) but I'm recovering nicely now. Trying to still be busy with the new apartment but it's a lot harder to get motivated to do stuff when you already live there :P I did read your latest posts but let me ask, how are you? :)
budgie_budgie[info]budgie_budgie on May 7th, 2010 10:29 am (UTC)
Oh, what a lovely hair! You are so talented! I really like that crispinette (love the word!) too, even if I'm not a medieval player, it's very well made.
Thank you so much!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 7th, 2010 07:41 pm (UTC)
Thank you very much :) Haha, I like that word too. I've learned a lot about medieval headwear thanks to this XD (though am hardly an expert)
Lothere[info]Lothere [blogspot.com] on May 7th, 2010 12:10 pm (UTC)
Thank you! My immodestly coiffed Sim ladies thank you as well!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 7th, 2010 07:41 pm (UTC)
Thanks! I hope your sim ladies enjoy it :)

Where do you want me to build your temple!
I think you'll have the entire Sims 2 community of medieval fans begin to worship you for this brilliant piece of art! I'm preparing incense, burnt offerings and would offer my first-born (if I ever had kids) to you. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! For this long-needed mesh! Recolorists, bring on your creations!!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 10th, 2010 03:31 pm (UTC)
Re: Where do you want me to build your temple!
Put the temple somewhere nice and nature-y :P

You're most welcome and thank you for the very kind words! :D
Ghanima Atreides[info]lithium_lily on May 10th, 2010 08:58 am (UTC)
It's absolutely brilliant, and my contemporary simmies are so going to wear it too ;) Thank you!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on May 10th, 2010 03:32 pm (UTC)
Thanks :D It's an interesting look for a contemporary sim ;)
[info]jbeach34 on October 9th, 2010 07:08 am (UTC)
This is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for this, it's great!!!
Are there any recolors of the crispinette any where that you know of? I haven't attempted recolors of accessories yet! ;) Guess I need to fire up Bodyshop!
Thanks again!!!
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on October 10th, 2010 04:15 am (UTC)
Thank you! I don't really know of any recolours, sorry. If you try it yourself, good luck :)
[info]trianondemarbre on November 14th, 2010 07:32 pm (UTC)
Can't download it
Thank you very much for this amazing creation! Unfortunatley I can't download the hair file, I get an error message :(
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on November 14th, 2010 08:50 pm (UTC)
Re: Can't download it
I just tried to download it myself and it seemed to download fine. Maybe mediafire was acting up for a bit?

A Compliment and A Question
Since I love your creations and think you're much better at meshing than I am, I have a question related to expanding my own sim empire. Do you actually work with primitives to create your meshed on details or do you frankinstein Maxis parts? I spent fifteen dollars on the Milkshape handbook and wonder whether I wasted my money.
fantasyrogue[info]fantasyrogue on January 2nd, 2011 12:47 am (UTC)
Re: A Compliment and A Question
Bit of column A bit of column B? This particular mesh, the veil hanging off the head was nabbed pretty much wholesale off a Maxis mesh. The hair on the head was built by hand out of planes. The braids are made out of a cilinder that's been shaped and then twisted. The front veil is made out of planes again.

I usually try to find a maxis piece that works first because there's not much point in me doing something that already exists nearly how I want it. But I try to manually add detail where needed if it doesn't already exist in an easy to use form. Hair I try to build up myself, by hand, out of planes and such (mainly because Maxis hair has mapping of doom and if you build hair out of planes, the mapping and texturing part is far simpler). Clothes I grab the nearest maxis likenesses then modify and add onto them.

Re: A Compliment and A Question
Right then. Thanks!
